I changed it back because it wasn’t working

#22

So it didn’t print done if you had more than 8 bullets?

#23

more than 8 bullets?

#25

why did you remove your post?

#26

Well I don’t fully understand what do you want to achieve.

#27

whenever the player has his shield it protects the player but when the value goes down i want the value to increase by 1 but it isn’t increasing

#28 
while wait() do
wait(1) 
		if player.BulletHit.Value <= 8 then
	     player.BulletHit.Value = player.BulletHit.Value + 1
		end
	end

Try this.

#29

like this?

while wait() do
		if player.BulletHit.Value < 8 then
			repeat
			player.BulletHit.Value = player.BulletHit.Value + 1
			wait(1) 
			until player.BulletHit.Value == 8
		end
	end

Because i want it to stop at 8

#30

Try my edited version of the code now.

#31

the value is not adding by 1

#32

Oh I should make the wait on the top of the loop try it now.

#33

it still doesn’t add the value

#34

Can you try to print (“hello there”) after the if statement in the loop?

Oh I know what’s your problem, you have two loops that means the second one won’t work.

#35

Oh, what do i do instead? because it also didn’t print

#36

Put everything inside one loop.

local shield = game.ReplicatedStorage.shield:Clone()

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	shield.Parent = character
	local shieldIsOn = Instance.new("NumberValue", player)
	shieldIsOn.Name = "BulletHit"
	shieldIsOn.Value = 8
	local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	while wait() do
wait(1) 
		if player.BulletHit.Value < 8 then
	     player.BulletHit.Value = player.BulletHit.Value + 1
		end
	if player.BulletHit.Value == 8 then
	weld.Parent = character
	weld.Part0 = shield
	weld.Part1 = character.HumanoidRootPart
	shield.Position = character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
	shield:WaitForChild("IsInUse").Value = true
	end
end
end)

what do you mean, isn’t it in already in one? Im prob wrong

#38

Alright try this version of your code ^.

#39

It worked! :smiley: thank you for the help

#40

No problem the problem was anything below the while wait() loop won’t run because the loop is infinite :smiley:.
